Supports US equities, options, and crypto.\n  Use this skill when you want your AI agent to execute paper trades through\n  MCP tool calls — no CLI installation or direct API coding required.\n---\n\n# Alpaca Paper Trading — MCP Server Version\n\nUse this skill when you want your AI agent to preview, submit, inspect, and manage paper-trading orders using the Alpaca Trading API MCP Server.\n\nThis skill is written for you, a Trading API user working with your own Alpaca paper-trading account. Your agent calls MCP tools directly — no CLI installation or raw HTTP requests needed. The MCP server handles authentication and API communication.\n\nThis is the MCP-server-specific version. A generic (implementation-agnostic) version and a CLI version are also available as companion skills.\n\n---\n\n## 0 — How your AI agent should use this skill\n\n1. **Start with the signal source.** Whether it originates from a backtest result, a manual trading idea, a scheduled trigger, or a conversational request — identify what is driving the trade.\n2. **Reiterate strategy logic and confirm with you.** Your agent must restate the trading idea in its own words and wait for your confirmation before proceeding.\n3. **Gather and confirm ALL configurations.** Timing, asset class, symbol, side, quantity or notional amount, order type, time-in-force, limit/stop prices, extended-hours flag, risk controls (position limits, max order size, loss thresholds), and margin intent.\n4. **Discover available MCP tools.** Your agent must call `GetDynamicTools` to find the Alpaca MCP namespace and inspect available tool schemas before calling any tool. Tool names and parameters vary by MCP server implementation — never assume.\n5. **Verify paper environment.** Read `env.ALPACA_PAPER_TRADE` from the host's MCP config file — no tool exposes it — and require it to be absent, `true`, `1`, or `yes`. Then confirm the account is active and unblocked. If paper mode cannot be proven, **STOP immediately** and tell you.\n6. **Show a complete order preview table.** Every parameter that will be sent to the order-placement tool must be visible to you before submission.\n7. **Ask whether you want explicit confirmation before each order** (default: ON). Respect your preference for the rest of the session.\n8. **Submit via the order-placement tool for the asset class.** Placement is split across stock, crypto, and option tools — select by asset class, then pass the confirmed parameters exactly as previewed.\n9. **Monitor with the order lookup and order list tools.** Report fills, rejections, partial fills, and portfolio impact.\n10. **Never place live trades.** Verify paper environment before every submission.\n\n---\n\n## 1 — Prerequisites\n\n### Required\n\n- **Alpaca Trading API MCP Server** installed and configured in your agent host (Cursor, etc.)\n- **Paper trading API key and secret** configured as environment variables in the MCP server configuration — **never** pasted into chat or passed as tool arguments\n- MCP server namespace discoverable via `GetDynamicTools`\n- Paper trading account active at Alpaca\n\n### Conditional\n\n- **Options trading**: must be enabled on your Alpaca paper account\n- **Crypto trading**: must be enabled on your Alpaca paper account\n\n### MCP Server Setup (Cursor)\n\nThe server is Alpaca's official MCP server, maintained at [alpacahq/alpaca-mcp-server](https://github.com/alpacahq/alpaca-mcp-server). That repository's README is the source of truth for the package name, command, and environment variables. The configuration below reflects v2.\n\nAdd it to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"alpaca-paper-trading\": {\n      \"command\": \"uvx\",\n      \"args\": [\"alpaca-mcp-server\"],\n      \"env\": {\n        \"ALPACA_API_KEY\": \"your-paper-key\",\n        \"ALPACA_SECRET_KEY\": \"your-paper-secret\",\n        \"ALPACA_PAPER_TRADE\": \"true\"\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n| Variable | Required | Default | Purpose |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `ALPACA_API_KEY` | Yes | — | Paper API key |\n| `ALPACA_SECRET_KEY` | Yes | — | Paper secret key |\n| `ALPACA_PAPER_TRADE` | No | `true` | Paper/live switch; `false` selects live. This skill requires `true`. |\n| `ALPACA_TOOLSETS` | No | all | Comma-separated toolsets to expose. Leaving it unset means you have all capabilities. Set it (for example `account,trading,assets`) only to narrow what the agent can reach. |\n\nPaper versus live is determined solely by `ALPACA_PAPER_TRADE`. The server derives the API host from that flag, so there is no base-URL variable to set and none to verify.\n\n### Verifying the MCP server is available\n\nYour agent should run:\n\n```\nGetDynamicTools with pattern \"alpaca\"\n```\n\nIf the namespace is not found, appears in `\"error\"` or `\"loading\"` state, or has `namespaceStatus: \"needsAuth\"`:\n\n1. If `\"needsAuth\"` — authenticate via `mcp_auth` for that namespace, then retry.\n2. If `\"error\"` or not found — tell you to check the MCP server configuration in Cursor settings.\n3. Do **not** fall back to direct HTTP calls or CLI commands. This is the MCP version.\n\n---\n\n## 2 — Gather inputs\n\n### Input table\n\n| Parameter | Required | Default | Notes |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `symbol` | Yes | — | Ticker symbol (e.g., `AAPL`, `BTC/USD`, `AAPL251219C00250000`) |\n| `side` | Yes | — | `buy` or `sell` |\n| `qty` | One of qty/notional | — | Number of shares/units. Whole or fractional. Mutually exclusive with `notional` |\n| `notional` | One of qty/notional | — | Dollar amount. Stocks: market orders with `day` TIF only. Crypto: market orders only. Not available on `place_option_order` |\n| `type` | No | `market` | Stocks: `market`, `limit`, `stop`, `stop_limit`, `trailing_stop`. Crypto: `market`, `limit`, `stop_limit`. Options: `market`, `limit`. **The parameter is `type`, not `order_type`** |\n| `time_in_force` | No | `day` (stocks), `gtc` (crypto), `day` (options) | Stocks: `day`, `gtc`, `opg`, `cls`, `ioc`, `fok`. Crypto: `gtc` or `ioc` only — `day` and `fok` are rejected. Options: `day` only |\n| `limit_price` | If limit/stop_limit | — | Limit price |\n| `stop_price` | If stop/stop_limit | — | Stop trigger price |\n| `trail_percent` | If trailing_stop | — | Trailing stop percentage. `place_stock_order` only |\n| `trail_price` | If trailing_stop | — | Trailing stop dollar offset. `place_stock_order` only |\n| `extended_hours` | No | `false` | Allow extended-hours fills. `place_stock_order` only; `limit` type with `day` or `gtc` TIF |\n| `client_order_id` | No | Alpaca generates one if omitted | Idempotency key — your agent generates one per order |\n| `order_class` | No | `null` | `simple`, `bracket`, `oco`, `oto`. `place_stock_order` only. Automatically set to `bracket` when either bracket-leg parameter below is supplied |\n| `take_profit_limit_price` | If bracket | — | Limit price for the take-profit leg. `place_stock_order` only |\n| `stop_loss_stop_price` | If bracket | — | Stop price for the stop-loss leg. `place_stock_order` only |\n| `stop_loss_limit_price` | No | — | Limit price for the stop-loss leg. Requires `stop_loss_stop_price` |\n| `position_intent` | No | — | `buy_to_open`, `buy_to_close`, `sell_to_open`, `sell_to_close` (options) |\n\n> The bracket legs are **flat scalar parameters**, not nested objects. `POST /v2/orders` takes nested `take_profit: { limit_price }` and `stop_loss: { stop_price, limit_price }`, but the `place_*` tools flatten them, and their schemas set `additionalProperties: false` — so passing the nested REST shape is a hard rejection, not a silently ignored field. This is the general hazard: the tools deliberately reshape the REST body, so never build parameters from the REST schema.\n\n### Additional context gathered\n\n| Input | Required | Default | Notes |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `asset_class` | Inferred | `us_equity` | `us_equity`, `crypto`, `us_option` |\n| `strategy_description` | Recommended | — | Natural-language description of the trade rationale |\n| `risk_controls` | Recommended | — | Max position size, max loss threshold, portfolio concentration limit |\n| `mcp_namespace` | Discovered | — | The MCP namespace where Alpaca tools are available (via `GetDynamicTools`) |\n\n### Strategy confirmation checklist\n\nBefore proceeding to order preview, your agent must confirm:\n\n- [ ] Strategy intent restated in plain language\n- [ ] Symbol, side, and quantity/notional confirmed\n- [ ] Order type and all price levels confirmed\n- [ ] Time-in-force confirmed\n- [ ] Extended-hours intent confirmed (equities)\n- [ ] Risk controls confirmed (or explicitly waived)\n- [ ] Asset-class-specific requirements confirmed (options approval, crypto eligibility)\n- [ ] Paper environment verified\n\n---\n\n## 3 — Source-of-truth references\n\n| Source | URL | Used for |\n|---|---|---|\n| Alpaca MCP Server | https://github.com/alpacahq/alpaca-mcp-server | Server setup, environment variables, toolsets, current tool list |\n| Alpaca Trading API docs | https://docs.alpaca.markets/us/docs/trading-api | Order parameters, account fields, asset details |\n| Create Order reference | https://docs.alpaca.markets/us/reference/postorder | Underlying REST semantics only — **not** the tool parameter shape. The `place_*` tools flatten and constrain this schema, so always build parameters from the discovered tool schema |\n| Order types guide | https://docs.alpaca.markets/us/docs/orders-at-alpaca | Order type behavior, TIF rules, extended hours |\n| Options trading | https://docs.alpaca.markets/us/docs/options-trading | Options order requirements, exercise/assignment |\n| Crypto trading | https://docs.alpaca.markets/us/docs/crypto-trading | Crypto pairs, 24/7 trading, fractional units |\n| Account API | https://docs.alpaca.markets/us/reference/getaccount-1 | Account status fields, buying power, PDT |\n| Alpaca disclosures | https://alpaca.markets/disclosures | Disclosure language |\n\n### Discovery rule\n\nYour agent **must** call `GetDynamicTools` to discover the actual MCP namespace, tool names, and parameter schemas before calling any tool. The names this skill cites are those of the official server at v2; confirm them, and never assume a parameter format.\n\n---\n\n## 4 — Workflow\n\n### Phase 1: Strategy Confirmation\n\n**Step 1** — Identify the signal source.\n\nDetermine where the trade idea originates:\n- Backtest result (reference the run folder and signal)\n- Manual idea from you (\"I want to buy 100 shares of AAPL\")\n- Scheduled or conditional trigger (\"Buy when AAPL drops below $180\")\n- Portfolio rebalance (\"Close my TSLA position and rotate into NVDA\")\n\n**Step 2** — Reiterate the strategy.\n\nYour agent restates the trade in its own words:\n\n> \"You want to buy 10 shares of AAPL as a market order, good for the day, in your paper account. This is a manual directional trade — no stop loss or take profit attached. Is that correct?\"\n\n**Step 3** — Wait for your confirmation.\n\nDo not proceed until you confirm. If you correct any detail, your agent re-confirms the updated version.\n\n### Phase 2: Configuration Agreement\n\n**Step 4** — Gather all order parameters from the input table above.\n\n**Step 5** — For limit, stop, or bracket orders, confirm all price levels.\n\n**Step 6** — Confirm time-in-force and extended-hours settings.\n\n**Step 7** — Confirm risk controls:\n- Maximum position size in this symbol\n- Maximum single-order notional value\n- Portfolio concentration limits\n- Stop-loss or take-profit levels (if bracket)\n\n**Step 8** — For options: confirm the contract symbol, position intent (`buy_to_open`, etc.), and that options trading is enabled.\n\n**Step 9** — For crypto: confirm the trading pair (e.g., `BTC/USD`), quantity precision, and 24/7 availability.\n\n### Phase 3: MCP Discovery and Paper Account Verification\n\n**Step 10** — Discover the Alpaca MCP namespace.\n\n```\nCall GetDynamicTools with pattern \"alpaca\" to find the namespace.\nThen call GetDynamicTools with the found namespace to list all available tools.\n```\n\nYour agent ","tagline":"Preview, submit, inspect, and manage Alpaca paper-trading orders using the Alpaca Trading API MCP Server.
